    Summary

    Abby wants Max. Max wants Abby. How complicated could this really be?

    On another one of her drinking binges, Abby calls Max in a panic, breaking their three month silence. Of course, Max is quick to come and save her. But how can they move past this? Do they go back to normal? Was this just a one off, old friends needing each other in the moment? Or will something more bubble to the surface?

    Summary

    She had envisioned this moment so many times. A call gone wrong, a miscalculated risk. She had imagined Maya’s body blackened and burned, irreparably broken. It would chill her blood during the daylight, startle her awake at night.
    Whenever it happened, she would turn in bed and hold Maya to her, she would mold her body against hers until the shivers stopped.

    She had yelled at Maya that morning. Maybe, if she had held her instead…

    ––-

    In the aftermath of Maya's accident, they are left shattered. All they can do is try to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    "Carol knows in her heart that she shouldn’t pour herself another drink. The glass is sticky enough to remind her that she’s spilled the amber liquid over her own hands at least three times, and she’s licked them clean as if wasting a single drop of her favourite poison were a crime. If anyone could see her now, they would deem her pathetic, disgusting, hopeless. The fact that she can still feel the stinging shame of knowing that she’s exactly all those things makes her realize that she’s not drunk enough."
    [...]
    “You’re Carol, right? I’m Zosia. I hear you’ve had quite a day.”
    Carol scoffs, trying to conceal the cracks in her voice.
    “And it’s not even noon yet.”

     

    or

    the one where Carol struggles through loss, grief, addiction and trauma, doesn't ask for help, but gets it anyways.

    Summary

    Five years after losing her wife, Carol Sturka has built a quiet life by the coast: hands busy, heart carefully guarded, love poured into animals and things she can fix.
    Zosia Kosłowska arrives in town running from expectations, from a future already decided for her, and from a desire she has never allowed herself to name.

    This is a slow story about grief, restraint, late blooming, and the kind of wanting that learns to speak through hands, silence, and time.
